Would be actually excited if we were to sign a legit sized wing. _________________ "He's a Zen master, so he can speak to you, and he doesn't need a microphone; you can hear him in your head, 'Ron, don't shoot, don't shoot.' Whatever, pow, three. I love the Zen, though." |

Well we let Dorell Wright go off to China. Maybe they see some upside in Frazier and the others. |

What signings did you expect |
Had we traded Kobe for Lebron, Kelly and Black for Durant, Randle and Russle for Cousins, Nick young for the nubeber 3 pick and taken Oakafor, then, swap Clarkson for Harden.....
We could start
Harden PG
Durrant SG
LeBron SF
Oakafor PF
Cousins C
I mean, that was the wet dream right? Muahahahahaha! |
I think OKC would insist on getting Sacre also. |

Nice work. Curious about your opinion though. Seems much more negative then most other scouting reports or articles that I have seen about him. Even a couple with the hyperbole of "potential steal of the draft" status. I agree that seems a bit much but a far cry from your nothing to see here report.
Specifically concerning his athleticism and ballhandling abilities. In both cases scouting reports say he is average but underrated. You seem to have no hope for him at all.
To be fair. He is a camp invite with a minimal chance of making the team. I can understand why you have little enthusiasm for him. IMO his only chance is in taking J. Browns spot as a deep bench player. Perhaps his shooting can earn him a position.
Going to be an interesting competition for those last few spots on the end of the bench. |

It's going to be very difficult for Frazier to beat out Jabari Brown IMO. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Jabari brown is really good. We should stop sleeping on him. |

What a strange signing: another scoring guard who defends well. Are we seeing the Lakers go for the Memphis Grizzlies plan, a bunch of guards and and no starting quality, classically sized big wings (6'6" - 6'8") ? ? |

I think Frazier has defensive chops at the college level, but I think he'll encounter problems in the NBA level. I have an athleticism metric I trust, and Frazier just ranks poorly. He's not an NBA level of athlete, and on top of that just lacks height. I think he has the mental fortitude to possibly become average in the right matchups, but I'm not holding my breath. |

Jabari Brown can shoot and create his own show... 6'11 wingspan.. frazier is doesnt have the ball skills is only 6'3 and just a spot up shooter. at best he is a boobie gibson...brown is the better player |

It doesn't matter who is better, they can co-exist bro, if one hit the wall, the other one can contribute. It's a team concept. |

Frazier is legit 6'5, taller than Clarkson and Russell. Decent wingspan, decent reach. 6'3.75 without shoes |

It doesn't matter, they would both be fighting for table scraps. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Frazier is 3/4" taller, has higher standing reach. And Jabari has a 6-8.5" wingspan, not 6-11. |
